Peterborough Crematorium has a wide choice of memorials available to allow families to commemorate their loved one.

You can lease most of our memorials for a period of time (5, 10 or 20 years). There is also the option of renewing the lease for a further period (from 1 to 20 years).

It's not always possible to place a memorial where the cremated remains are scattered. However, you can buy a choice of various memorials, in designated locations, some of which are in the same area where the scattering has taken place.

Alternatively, you may lease a memorial where it is possible to have one to four sets of cremated remains placed inside for the duration of the lease. You can choose from Sanctum 2000, Family Niche, Niche memorial vase or Silver Birch Spinney.
